CAIRO, May 15 (Reuters) - An al Qaeda-linked cell detained in Egypt was planning suicide attacks on the French and U.S. embassies, the state news agency MENA reported, quoting investigators.
Authorities on Saturday announced the capture of three Egyptians with al Qaeda links, saying they had been found in possession of 10 kg (22 pounds) of explosive materials.
